My egg box was crawling with two types this morning:

Dan

Out a bit.

Dan

Like a pit-bull. You cannot tame these nasty snakes.

Just kidding of course. They loose their interest to bite after they shed.

Dan

Green and yellow are my two favorite colors on a snake.

Hi there:

Amazing green snakes! The intense yellow on the mother's venter is something that I have never seen in a green snake before. I have kept several hatchling rough greens, and have also found them to be quite feisty. Most that I have raised were wild as babies, eventually taming down as they grew. Rather than biting, they simply gave me an evil gape, revealing a black gullet.
Congragulations. I think you will find that captive-born green snakes are MUCH easier to care for than the adults. They are far more handleable, and much better feeders- they eat almost anything you put in front of them. Good luck.

....way to enter this world...the poor greeny will be scarred for life! Good thing the wee king is too full of yolk to care!

Congrats on working w/ the greens, very very cool snakes for sure.

Anyone recall the first regalis copulating post.... lets see what I post next!....

Biers....RxR

Neat same mother had such different looking snakes? lol just goofing but all kidding a side. Is that dangerous if you dont seperate them as soon as they are born?
Thanks

The kings usually dont feed until after their first shed. That is not to say that I would take that notion to keep them together any second longer to see if its all fact.

Dan

Nice! Hey Dan is that king clutch from the "best ones"??
Here's a juvy green from Osceola.

Dan, do you breed greens? If so, i have some questions you could answer.
Thanks,
Jack

...and I think to myself, "What a wonderful world."

I don't breed them, although to breed them I would think they would need privacy so the glass would need to be covered with newspaper to not stress when they see people traffic. Also they would benefit from a basking light and temps replicating a cool period in winter. They breed before the wet season in March I think.
